Nakambe: The Minister of Basic Education, Literacy and the Promotion of National Languages (MEBAPLN), Jacques Sosthene Dingara, met on Monday in Tenkodogo with educational stakeholders in the Nakambe region to discuss the implementation of educational reforms undertaken by the government, during a regional tour. According to Burkina Information Agency, the meeting, held in the conference room of the Nakambe Regional Council, allowed the minister to review the implementation of the various reforms. Jacques Sosthene Dingara stated that 2026 marks a phase of consolidation for the actions undertaken in the region. He highlighted that these reforms are generally understood and are gradually being adopted by stakeholders in the education system. 'We are witnessing a consolidation of all the reforms undertaken in the region. They are supported by the various stakeholders, which reflects an understanding and commitment. We believe that these reforms will contribute to changing the face of education,' he said. The minister also emphasized the need for radical changes in teaching methods to enable the education system to produce citizens capable of actively contributing to Burkina Faso's development. He encouraged each stakeholder to reflect on their individual contribution to this change, believing that transforming the education system requires new practices integrated into daily professional life. For Inoussa Diallo, regional coordinator of the National Union of Basic Education Workers (SYNATEB) in Nakambe, the meeting provided an opportunity to review all the reforms undertaken since the previous year. "The minister went over the reforms point by point and emphasized the need to strengthen awareness for their implementation," he stated. Mr. Diallo also emphasized the importance of locally developed solutions and community involvement in implementing reforms, particularly regarding school canteens, educational gardens, the promotion of local products, and the wearing of traditional clothing in schools. He noted tha t, despite the challenges, initiatives have already been undertaken by education stakeholders, within the limits of available resources. For his part, the regional director of Basic Education for Nakambe, Bourbila Pierre Silga, acknowledged that reforms are indeed being implemented in the region, although they are facing some difficulties. These mainly concern the training of those involved, the accessibility of certain areas, and the lack of equipment, particularly for school-based activities. However, Mr. Silga indicated that steps are underway to build strong local partnerships in order to find homegrown solutions to these difficulties. He added that the minister's visit provided an opportunity to reiterate the key directions and fundamental changes to be implemented within the framework of the reform of the education system, in line with the vision of an education geared towards production and national sovereignty. At the end of the discussions, the various stakeholders reaffirmed their commitment to s upporting the ongoing educational reforms, while also calling for strengthened community and institutional support. The Minister's tour of Nakambe thus appears as a step towards mobilization and readjustment, with the aim of making Burkina Faso's schools a driving force for social transformation and nation-building.
